The ancients wrote asking why God hung eternity in their hearts? Why is it we conceive of such things? A university research spokesman once commented to the affect that it seemed to him as if he was brought into creation to study the intricate structures of himself by those same intricate structures themselves. The atoms were studying the atom to figure out what the story was with the atoms. Eternity, survival, well being, and knowledge of existence seem to be hung in many of our hearts by the very Existence that brought us, each individually, into existence. These haunting thoughts do not come from nothing, so why is the something that gives birth to such thoughts even in our consciousness at all? It seems that there may be a model for our future presented to us in the nature of dreams that could introduce us to the next dramatic stage in our future. Dreams may be the doorway to that future. Why do we dream? Why do we even sleep? What is this constant rehearsal about? Why do dreams seem so real when we experience them but quite unreal when we awake from them? All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together, Jack Kerouac. These are a few of the questions that might be something worthwhile exploring, worthwhile turning our subconscious loose in a wide random search for meaning.
